Endurance 30 FD
The Endurance 30 FD series is designed for hunters and sport shooters looking for dependable performance combined with a particularly powerful reticle illumination system. At the heart of the range is Hawke's Fiber Dot technology, producing an intensely illuminated red aiming point that remains clearly visible even in bright daylight.
Illumination is controlled by a convenient push-button system with 11 brightness levels. Auto Standby combined with motion activation helps conserve battery power when the riflescope is not in use and reactivates the illumination when movement is detected.
A robust 30 mm monotube chassis, practical turret configurations and a high-grip zoom ring with removable throw lever make the Endurance 30 FD series a versatile choice for a wide range of hunting and sporting applications.
Hawke System H5 – High Optical Performance and Wide Field of View
The H5 optical system is designed to deliver a bright, high-contrast and detailed image across a wide range of shooting conditions. High-grade low-dispersion crown glass helps minimise colour fringing and provides a sharp, natural view of the target.
The lenses feature 18-layer fully multi-coated surfaces to optimise light transmission and reduce unwanted reflections. At the same time, the H5 system provides particularly wide fields of view – a significant advantage for rapid target acquisition and tracking moving targets.
The H5 system therefore combines high image quality with a generous field of view, making it equally suitable for fast hunting situations and precise target identification at longer distances.
Endurance 30 FD 1.7-10x44
The 1.7–10x44 is a highly versatile hunting riflescope covering a broad range of applications from close-range encounters to considerably longer shooting distances. Its low 1.7x starting magnification provides rapid target acquisition and a wide field of view of up to 22.8 m at 100 m, making it well suited to moving game, stalking and dynamic hunting situations.
With magnification extending up to 10x, the scope also provides ample reserves for detailed target identification and precise shot placement at longer ranges. The 44 mm objective lens offers a balanced compromise between light-gathering capability, compact dimensions and a relatively low mounting position.
Parallax is conveniently fixed at 91 metres. Low-profile, capped and resettable turrets with 1/4 MOA adjustments provide precise corrections while helping prevent accidental changes during hunting.
This makes the 1.7–10x44 particularly suitable as an all-round hunting riflescope for stalking, driven hunting and stand hunting, covering a remarkably broad range of situations with a single optic.
LR2 FD (10x)
The LR2 FD (10x) combines the fast and uncluttered characteristics of a classic L4-style reticle with additional aiming references for precise shots at extended ranges. Its open outer-post design keeps a generous portion of the target visible, while the heavier side and lower posts provide quick orientation, particularly in challenging light conditions.
A fine upper post minimises obstruction of the target area. Along the fine lower vertical post, additional holdover aim points help compensate for bullet drop, allowing changing distances to be addressed directly through the reticle without requiring an elevation adjustment for every shot.
The central Fibre Dot provides a clearly defined aiming point for rapid target acquisition. The LR2 FD therefore combines the intuitive handling of a hunting reticle with additional ballistic references for more precise shooting at medium and extended ranges.
The LR2 FD represents the second generation of Hawke's LR Dot reticle concept, with updated subtensions and ballistic hold points designed to complement modern centrefire cartridges and muzzle velocities.
As the reticle is positioned in the second focal plane, it maintains the same apparent size as magnification changes. The defined reticle subtensions of the LR2 FD (10x) correspond to 10x magnification.
Fibre Dot – a high-intensity aiming point for changing light conditions
Hawke's FD Fibre Dot technology is designed to provide particularly fast and intuitive target acquisition. Rather than simply illuminating a conventional reticle, the system focuses on an intensely illuminated red aiming point at the centre of the reticle. Fibre-optic illumination produces a bright, clearly defined aiming point that remains highly visible even in bright daylight.
This is especially advantageous in dynamic hunting situations. The eye is naturally drawn towards the bright central aiming point, allowing the target to be acquired quickly, while the remaining reticle structure stays unobtrusive and maintains a clear view of the target. In low-light conditions, illumination intensity can be reduced accordingly to prevent excessive brightness and maintain comfortable target acquisition.
Intuitive operation
The illumination can be adjusted quickly and easily to changing light conditions and shooting situations. This helps keep the aiming point clearly visible in both bright daylight and low-light conditions without unnecessarily dominating the sight picture.Automatic standby functionOn suitably equipped models, an automatic standby function helps conserve battery power. When the riflescope remains stationary for a period of time, the illumination can enter standby mode and reactivate when movement is detected again.
This reduces the need to repeatedly switch the illumination on and off manually during a day in the field, while ensuring that the illuminated aiming point is quickly available again when the riflescope is brought into use.
The practical advantage
FD technology therefore combines the precision of a conventional riflescope reticle with the intuitive target acquisition of a highly visible red aiming point. At low magnification, the Fibre Dot supports rapid target acquisition and engagement of moving targets; at higher magnification, it provides a clearly defined central aiming reference for precise shot placement.
This makes the technology particularly suitable for applications where light conditions, shooting distances or target situations can change rapidly – from daylight driven hunts to low-light hunting at dusk.
